The Downward Spiral's concept, intertwined with Trent's emotional angst, and
the noisy production somehow became a massive commercial success. Unlike
PHM which was a bit commercial, TDS twisted the mainstream to it's own
sound.

Angelspit hate you, and everyone else in the world. They're a bunch of the
stereotypical weird, bondage-loving, violence-enjoying German people portrayed on TV. And
they make some damn good music that, literally, exudes anger.

Yeah, FLA sounds a bit too much like the Wax Trax/synthpop/Terminator soundtrack
era, but not many bands did sampling and rhythm better than FLA did on this
album. The Chemical Brothers owe their sound to FLA.

Headhunter has nearly 2,000,000 views on YouTube. And Front 242 is pretty
traditional late 80s industrial. That should be a testament to how good this band was. They were abrasive, but
danceable. Precursor to KMFDM.

I can't describe the feeling I have when I see so many people revering "The fragile" when I think the double album is unlistenably bad at 90%. And I love 3, 6, 7, 9, 10, 13, 15 (doesn't know the rest). Plus, Angelspit don't "hate you," they just happen to have smart lyrics.
